Biggish coarse white head that’s creamy on top with larger bubbles. Slightly hazy orange body with carbonation. Light acidic perfumy aroma with notes of yeast and tea. Taste is deep, bitter and lightly malty and yeasty. Bitter metallic tea aftertaste. Body is a bit thin with a dusty mouthfeel. Spicy, wooden notes. A nice bitter, but nothing too remarkable. (0.5l bottle.)

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Hazy. Ruby colour with thin beige ehad. Bit of diacetyl maybe. Some toffee in mouth. Bit sour. Not great and a poor beer in this condition.

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. This is an "organic" beer. Clear golden colour, large and lingering head. Moderate but okay aromatic hops with notes of honey. Flavor is instantly "dusty" hops (First Gold and Hallertau), then some hints of honey and caramel, while a distinct but not overdone hoppy bitterness carries you through, and stays with you in the aftertaste. Not bad, but I am not convinced that Hallertau is the best hop for a golden ale.

Bottled. Clear, golden, sparkling beer with a decent white head. Malty and sweet aroma with nice hopping. The flavor starts off with hops, then there’s a balancing maltyness with caramel. Medium body. The finish acts a bit like the flavor, with a hoppy start, and the malt coming after a while. Quite nice. (060712)

Cask at the brewpub. Clear, copper-colored bitter with a minimal beige head. Weak aroma with some maltiness. The flavor is the same. Thin body and a malty finish with just some bitter notes. Certainly drinkable, but a bit too boring. Nice place, though. (060711)

Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 21-04-06. A really corking beer, Pale Golden, Hoppy and with some fruitiness suprised by the strength, very moreish. Yet another excellent beer at this festival. Bottle picked up at Wareham off licence, Wareham, Dorset, 30-08-08 and consumed at home 31-08-08. Pours warm gold, good rangy tang to this beer good bitterness, finishes a little sweet, I would give this 3.4, so the score slips slightly.

Cask handpull at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Deep chestnut colour with sparsebeige head. Oddly malty but metallic beer. Malt in mouth is good and bitterness on end, some choc and grainyness. Feels like a dark malt beer, but the mouthfeel feels light whilst the end is grainy/dry with some caramalised red fruit. Genuinely odd.

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of straw. Ordinary.
